The love story of a wealthy family amid anti-fraud storm at the border

The moment Yi Chen answered the video call, Ye Qiuyun knew that some things could no longer be hidden.

"I heard from Ye Qiuyun that you were injured. Are you feeling better now? She has been taking care of all my affairs for me recently, so she didn't contact you in time."

When Yi Chen saw Gu Chenxin and knew that he was seriously injured, his first reaction was whether Ling Yue was in danger?

He didn't dare to ask, nor did he have the courage to ask.

"Oh? I thought you were the one who made those two calls, but it turns out you weren't?"

After waking up, Gu Chenxin originally planned to make another plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

However, his little trick was seen through by Ling Yue in time.

In order to ensure that Ling Yue would not be implicated in the whole incident, he had to hide the truth of everything from Ling Yue again.

After much effort, Ling Yue finally agreed to his proposal despite his disdainful pursuit.

The wedding is in a week!

Today, after careful consideration, he decided to call Yi Chen to tell him the "good news".

"Brother, I have good news for you. Ling Yue and I are getting married. The wedding will be held in a week."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, splitting Yi Chen's heart in two.

At the same time, Ye Qiuyun on the side paid more attention to the expression on Yi Chen's face and the changes in his heart.

"Great, you finally have a home of your own, congratulations!"

Yi Chen smiled slightly and said lightly.

On the surface, one cannot sense any ripples in his heart.

After a few simple greetings, Yi Chen hung up the phone first.

"Captain Chen, are you okay?" Ye Qiuyun asked anxiously.

Yi Chen looked at Ye Qiuyun, his eyes filled with complicated emotions, "Why did you hide it from me?"

Ye Qiuyun's heart tightened, knowing that the matter could no longer be concealed.

"Captain Chen, you've just recovered. I just don't want too many people or things to affect you. Besides, our mission isn't complete yet, and I don't want this to affect the entire operation."

Yi Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"is it?"

He understood that Ye Qiuyun admired him, and he also understood the little thoughts in a woman's mind.

What's more, it was he who had entrusted Ling Yue's second half of life to Gu Chenxin.

Fate plays tricks on us, there is no destiny.

Even though Yi Chen was helpless, he could only silently hide all his feelings deep in his heart forever.

He knew that what Ye Qiuyun said made sense, but the pain in his heart was hard to heal.

"I'm fine. Now that we know, let's continue to complete our mission." Yi Chen said gritting his teeth.

"What about South Africa..." Ye Qiuyun asked cautiously.

"I have my own arrangements!"

Afterwards, during the three days in South Africa, Yi Chen and Ye Qiuyun's itinerary remained the same.

Ye Qiuyun also couldn't see any abnormality in Yi Chen's mood.

Maybe this is the performance of a calm man.

He is so good at hiding his inner thoughts from outsiders.

Yi Chen’s reaction made Ye Qiuyun feel even more uneasy.

The night before returning to the border, Ye Qiuyun finally couldn't hold back and found Yi Chen.

She wanted to have a good talk with Yi Chen. Only when she was sure that he had really let it go would Ye Qiuyun feel relieved.

"Captain Chen, I'll be back tomorrow. Are you okay?"

"Qiuyun, when did you become so nagging?" Yi Chen understood what Ye Qiuyun wanted to ask.

"Captain Chen, after all these years, you and Ling Yue can't go back. She already has her own place. Can you be kinder to yourself?"

Ye Qiuyun looked at Yi Chen with eyes full of affection.

Once upon a time, this proud female special forces soldier would only let down her guard and disguise in front of Yi Chen.

"Everyone chooses their own path. I haven't been unkind to myself. I was born with a mission, and completing my undercover mission is my greatest wish."

Yi Chen was still unwilling to share his feelings with Ye Qiuyun.

He knew that he couldn't leave Ye Qiuyun with any thoughts.

Especially since the two of them are on the front line of concealment at the same time, they cannot allow personal feelings to enter their minds while performing their tasks.

"Captain Chen, you really don't need to be so tired in front of me. You can give your heart to me."

When Ye Qiuyun said this, tears were already streaming down her face.

Yi Chen listened to Ye Qiuyun's "confession". He paused for a moment and then said:

"Qiuyun, my heart has long been filled with Ling Yue, a long time ago."

Yes, Yi Chen's heart had been filled with Ling Yue since childhood. The fateful bond between the two began in the small mountain village where they fought against the epidemic.

Or perhaps even earlier, from the moment Yi Chen picked up the relics of Ling Yue's parents.

Although he couldn't bear to hurt Ye Qiuyun, when he heard Ye Qiuyun's words today, he knew that he couldn't give her any more thoughts.

"You and I will always be best comrades, brothers and sisters, and even family. Do you understand?"

"Comrades? Brothers? Family?" Yi Chen's words really hurt Ye Qiuyun's heart deeply.

Ye Qiuyun smiled coldly, her heart ached.

In fact, she had already anticipated the result before coming here, but she just wouldn't give up and insisted on coming here to seek abuse.

"Captain Chen, I don't like any of these names. Can you change them for me? Look at me. Have I been by your side for so many years and left no trace of emotion in your heart?"

Yi Chen looked at Ye Qiuyun's eyes filled with expectation and pain, and a trace of guilt arose in his heart, but he knew that he could not waver in the slightest.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Qiuyun, I understand your feelings, but feelings cannot be forced.

You are my good comrade who fights side by side with me. Over the years, I have seen and remembered your contributions.

But love, for us undercover workers, is an unattainable luxury."

"No, no, that's not right. We are all human beings, and humans have emotions and desires. You can try to love me from this moment on, isn't that right?"

At this moment, Ye Qiuyun seemed to be humble to the core in front of Yi Chen.

Yi Chen looked at her condition, and his reason told him that he could not leave her any hope at all.

"As for love, from the moment I met Ling Yue in childhood, the direction was already determined."

Tears welled up in Ye Qiuyun's eyes. She kept shaking her head, her voice trembling slightly:

"Could it be that all these years of companionship can't compare to the brief bond you shared with her in childhood? Captain Chen, I don't believe it. I really don't believe it... You've been separated for ten years."

Yi Chen shook his head slightly, his eyes firm but with a hint of helplessness:

"Qiuyun, some feelings can't be measured by time. Ling Yue and I have a bond that others cannot understand. This feeling has long been deeply rooted in the years. I know it's cruel to say this to you, but I can't give you false hope."

Ye Qiuyun bit her lips tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, and she hoarsely said:

"Okay, I understand. Captain Chen, I won't mention this again. I just hope you can truly let it go and live a good life. After all, our mission is still very difficult, and I don't want this to affect our next operations."

Yi Chen nodded slightly. He deeply admired Ye Qiuyun's pride and strength.

"Thank you, Qiuyun. I will adjust my condition. We must all focus on the mission. The situation at the border is complex, and there are many unknown dangers waiting for us. We must not take it lightly."
